Looking for a graduate who can spend an hour a week reviewing Priscila's essays until October.

I'm Priscila, 17, in Year 12. My parents work long hours and didn't go to university, so there's no one at home who can help me understand applications, deadlines or financial aid. I'd like to study computer science.
I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at my mosque and I have a draft of my personal statement. What I need is someone to read my essays, tell me honestly what's weak, and explain how scholarships work.
I'm looking for an hour a week until October. We can do it by video from anywhere. My mother will be at home during every call, and the school counselor knows about this request.
Thanks for reading. It took me a long time to ask.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending strength, Priscila. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Salé so I could bring a meal. God bless.

Thinking of you and your family. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
